The Complete Guide to Corporate Stationery
Designing effective stationery requires a balance of aesthetics and functionality. The paper texture, weight, and print technique all contribute to how your message is received.
This guide explores the essential elements of custom letterhead printing. We help you navigate paper stocks and finishes to ensure your brand stands out.
Paper Selection: Texture & Weight
The tactile quality of your letterhead printing paper is crucial. Standard copy paper feels disposable, whereas a textured stock implies permanence and value.
70lb Smooth Text: The gold standard for business use. It is significantly heavier than standard copy paper, offering opacity and a smooth surface.
Linen & Laid Textures: For law firms and executive suites, textured papers add a classic feel. The subtle cross-hatch or ribbed texture signals tradition.
Watermarked 24lb Bond: For the ultimate in prestige, we offer stocks with genuine watermarks. This subtle detail elevates the perceived value of your company letterhead.
Premium Finishing Options
To truly differentiate your brand, consider specialty finishes that standard office printers cannot achieve.
Foil Letterhead Printing: We use hot foil stamping to apply metallic gold or silver to your logo. This creates a brilliant, reflective finish that exudes luxury.
Embossed Letterhead Printing: Blind embossing raises your logo from the paper surface without ink. It creates a sophisticated 3D effect that is both visual and tactile.
Full Bleed Printing: Our presses allow for color to extend to the very edge of the page. This is perfect for modern designs with colorful headers or footers.
Strategic Letterhead Design
Your letterhead design must be functional as well as beautiful. It should frame your content, not compete with it.
Essential Elements: Always include your logo, company name, address, and contact info. Some businesses also include licensing numbers or board member names.
Why Choose Local Professional Printing?
Online budget options often use lightweight paper that jams and inks that smear.
Laser Safe Guarantee: At Zebra Printing, we use heat-resistant inks. They are designed to run through office laser printers without melting or streaking.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a letterhead?
A letterhead is a heading at the top of a sheet of letter paper. It typically consists of a name, address, and logo. It is used for official correspondence to verify authenticity.
How to make a letterhead?
Start with your logo and essential contact info. Use a letterhead template or design software. Ensure images are high-resolution (300 DPI) and set proper bleeds for print.
What paper is best for letterhead?
We recommend 70lb Smooth Text for a professional feel. For a more prestigious experience, 24lb Linen or Laid bond paper is excellent for executive use.
Can I print on the back of my letterhead?
Yes! Printing a solid color or pattern on the back is a fantastic branding opportunity. We recommend using a heavier stock to minimize show-through.
Will my letterhead work in my office laser printer?
Absolutely. We use specialized "laser-safe" inks and papers designed to withstand the high heat of laser fusers without melting or smearing.
